That’s what you’re in for at the Steampunk Haunted House, which takes over the Abrons’ century-old Playhouse tonight through Saturday night only. The event, created by the Bessie-Award-winning Third Rail Projects, offers a completely different experience from the standard moaning-zombie fare you get at most haunted-house-type endeavors. It’s a little Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, a little Mad Max, and a little Brazil, especially that scene where Katherine Helmond undergoes a plastic surgery procedure that makes you almost lose your lunch. How many Halloween events can claim Kafka among their inspirations?
